Random starting issue. Please help

So I drove to school the other day with no problems, got out of class and it'll turn over all day but won't start. Got a ride home and went to figure it out the next day. I get there, add 5 gallons of gas because I thought maybe I ran out and it starts right up no problem. I drive it to go get pizza and when I came out it started up no problem, got home, turned it off and now it won't start at all. I'm not getting spark to the plugs for some reason so I replaced my ignition module along with all my plugs because I ran a compression test which checked out fine. Fuel pressure is fine too. The ignition Module did nothing nor did the plugs. Any ideas?
